The process can take anywhere from one month to three years, depending on where you live and the complexity of your case. It typically takes up to six months to receive a decision when you initially apply for disability. If you are denied, you have the right to a Request for Reconsideration.
At times, it can take additional months simply due to how long the process sometimes naturally takes (for instance, the case may be audited for quality control) and due to the state of backlogs in the system. However, the average processing time for an initial disability claim is about one hundred days.
